I was watching TLC,or the discover channel the other night, and was watching these THEME bikes being put put together. And I noticed the the custom bikes have seperate gear box the mounts behind the motor, and then gets drive by the motor using a belt. then another belt is used to go back to the rear tire.


Anyways, would it be possible to mount such a seperate geat box to the V-force,and then instead of using a drive shaft/swing-arm combo, using a after market swingarm with a chain, or even a belt??? Given that thier would be alot of fabrication invovled, but is it possible? I dont know much about these types of tranny's but it seem to be a simple package to bolt on.

I'm pretty sure it could be done.That way you could change the gearing.You would basically end up with a setup like the scrambler has.

 

Ya I noticed the other day that my brother 500 scrammy has a seperate tranny! and they use a chain also.


With the potential these kawi motors have, I would think it would be worth it to go for a set-up like this. Banshee +8 swing-arm with Tripple buffs,and more inportant a MANUAL tranny!!!

I'm suprised someone with a V hasn't come up with an inline highspeed gearbox that fits inbetween the motor and driveshaft. Not to gear down, but to gear up. Something with just a little higher than a 1:1 ratio.

Another idea. Get a set of polaris snowmoble clutches, (larger than v's) retro fit them to where the primary goes. skip the tranmission altogether and mount an idle shaft behind where the swing arm hooks. on this idle arm mount the secondary clutch. throw the stock swing are away and build one with +6 and a straight axle, with chain drive back to the idle arm. Use a snowmoble belt between clutches.

Get the gearing right and hang on. There wouldn't be many, if any, bikes running away from you.

 

I think what you are describing is basically a jackshaft setup.Yes that would work also,no tranny at all.Man with the right gearing i agree,it would be hard to pull away from it.

 

Shotgun,
Maybe you can show me a drawing of what you propose it may be possible to devise something that can work. I have the place to modify stuff LOL.

 

Basically A high tech slip clutch, like on the minibikes I had as a kid!


But I would just like to have a Manual tranny for the simple fact of leaving the V-force in say 3rd gear,and playing with the torque!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Here it is.

5 speed

Alltoys,

I could make a drawing.

It just snowmoble clutches, with the secondary on a jax shaft. chain driven back to straight axle. While your at it extend the swing arm, to stop the wheeling.

 

I cant get the link to work[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
